    I cant believe anyone would buy fake brakes, its as bad as those fake side exhausts and fake intercoolers.

    lol, i wouldn't bother, plus i think there bigger than the factory calipers too if thats what your looking at attaching them too, waist of time and money like Attaboy said save up for the genuine ones, dba slotted discs/rotors $100-$110 each, then the brembo calipers and larger braided brake hose to the caliper, and will be alot better money spent and better for looks

    Hahaha! That is hilarious! They would look pretty funny with the big Brembo covers over the tiny little standard discs! This must be one of the biggest Ricer threads on this forum!

    ok umm.. where to start.. fake brakes are one of the dumbest ideas i have ever heard. im sorry but its just dumb. and the holden rotors are way to small for giant covers.. if you want to have different looking brakes just buy some high heat paint, strip off the bit you want to paint, grab some newspaper and spray away.. same result but 1: without spending a stupid amount of money on fakes and 2: doesnt have the brembo stickers (big freaking deal).. but fakes.. no way
    A Commodore is a passion. Anything else is just a car
